Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-1354

Aura had the idea of covering Lucifer's Safe Field with his Astral Road! An insane idea that would only come from the very creator of this place in all of Genesis. He was the one that created this special area that filled Genesis after all, and it was quite easy for him to manipulate it as well and even utilize it to aid his companions.

Once upon a time, when Genesis exploded into countless pieces, the Supreme God of Space and Creation, Lucifer, alongside the World's Will generated a Spatial Bubble which isolated the entire of the fragments left by the enormous planet of Genesis, making it seem as if the world and everything with it had disappeared, this even included the sun the planet orbited around and even the moon itself, coupled with a few of the planets that were very far away.

This enormous bubble was made to contain the world so it could keep itself "whole" even while not being whole, mostly due to the desperation of the World's Will, if the world were to be fully destroyed into pieces, she would weaken and die while trying to find a new host, like a parasite that couldn't survive with her host, the planet itself, she generated this bubble to keep even the gigantic continental fragments of the inflated planet within her range, and she connected all of them together through her powers, and the World Source Energy coming from the World's Origin Core she had parasitized, which was within the last remaining fragment of the planet that resembled a bit of how the planet used to be, deep within the middle of the Astral Road, while invisible connections keep all the Realms "together" even while being apart with one another.

Because of this, Lucifer's Avatar was forced to maintain this world's space through the World's Laws and became a pillar of this self-contained world of Genesis, alongside the other Supreme Gods, all of them given a Pillar they had to maintain in this new world isolated from the very Laws of the Outside Universe itself.

Because the spatial bubble pretty much made the world of Genesis an isolated pseudo-dimension by itself, it was without pillars for all basic elements and attributes, and the World's Will had to assign the Supreme Gods, once the great cause of the destruction of the planet, to become their pillars.

However, this bubble was dark, and the sun was incapable of illuminating everything, without stars, nebulas, faraway planets, and more, the space was empty, and I required a background, but not just out of aesthetic needs, but because a "background" made of cosmic essence would be able to stabilize the primary elements of light, darkness, and space that were within this new dimension made by Lucifer and the World's Will, and that's where Aura came into play, using his own enormous body and Supreme Domain, he materialized a "background" for this bubble… the Astral Road.

And therefore, the entirety of this enormous and extensive cosmos within this small dimension was all but his own creation, and also, part of his very body and soul. Because of this, he was able to see through it and know what was happening all around the world…

However, since Hel began to expand and spread this deadly Miasmic Death Ocean that the Astral Road had been slowly distorting and corrupting by this endless death and darkness, distorting, and slowly breaking apart, although the power of this Astral Road was so strong that it was resisting for a bit longer, but now, it was the perfect time to employ it through the ways that only its creator, Aura, knew about.

He had planned to concentrate the Astral Road in a single point around the Safe Field, and protect the space from the erosion caused by the death ocean, the Astral Road was a particularly hard component, even harder when compressed together into a small point such as the area Lucifer was going to use to move everyone across the ocean! It could work!

However… death could consume everything, without risking having to consume most of the Astral Road itself, Aura wouldn't be able to hold into it for too long, they would have to move very fast towards the Realm of Helheim, and even then, they would also face many obstacles in the way, there was no way that Hel wasn't going to prepare some surprises for them there. She had already been building a massive army of Undead Gods and Necrotic Death Lords, so she would most likely employ these beings of Death, naturally immune to the effects of the sea, to fight against them and build up time wasted so they end up sinking into the abyssal darkness of this ocean before they can even reach her.

Hel might also want to fight them perhaps, but she was happy as well if they all died hopelessly in the sea of death she had made, which was now being constantly fueled with Necrotic Energy directly from the opened Gates leading to the Netherworld Plane within the Realm of Helheim.

Was there any hope for the rest to do anything against this? Well, Flora was there to also offer her support. She smiled as she nodded, she found their plan rather interesting and decided to go along with it, something quite surprising seeing how arrogant the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin truly was!

"I can also help; I like your idea." She said. "The power of life can easily destroy this death, no matter how much it is. Of course, if I could, I would just completely consume the entire ocean with my life, but because it is being fueled with an endless stream of Necrotic Energy from the Netherworld Plane, it will constantly regenerate, and I will lose precious Divine Energy of the Supreme God-Realm for nothing… So I will concentrate all this power around the Safe Field, this should be more than enough defenses."
